so what's the advantage of using .msi file over the .exe w/ silent switch? smaller file size? is that all?

where can i get .msi files for the update?

here's the problem w/ having msiexec.exe /i code. start /wait %systemdrive%\backup\winapp\prog\msiexec.exe /i Winamp.msi /qb INI="%systemdrive%\backup\winapp\prog\winamp.ini" that's my command for winamp in .cmd file. as you can see, the cmd calls for msiexec.exe file instead of winamp.msi . i searched for msiexec.exe so maybe i can put the location in the cmd file but no luck. i'd appreciate your help .. again

the code you posted, works fine. if i leave out the msiexe.exe /i part , silent install will not work *redownloaded msi. same thing hmm.. i know i'm doing something wrong, but i can't quite get a grasp of it

C:\>"winamp.msi /qb INI="c:\winamp.ini"" The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. gives me this error when ran by cmd hmm.. tried my best.. need help *edit* tried just silent switch %systemdrive%\winamp.msi /qn and it doesn't work.. so i'm guessing the switch /qn /qb doesn't work in this case.. right? smack me if i'm wrong .

i need help.. here;s my .cmd for winamp "winamp.msi INI="c:\winamp.ini" /qb" and here's my ini file [SETUP] xagent=1 xlibrary=1 xintex=1 xmodernskin=1 xaduio=1 xvideo=0 xvisual=0 xextra=1 xdircont=1 xtypecont=1 xnetscape=0 xtray=0 well, when i click the .cmd file.. nothing happens. no error signs, so i guess the files are in correct place. any guess? tia *edit* removed the silent switch and clicked 'run' button when windows prompted for it, and INI file was recognized and installed according to it.. so i'm guessing problem w/ silent switch.

anyone have needed files for RAID w/ ICH6R ? (along w/ txtsetup.oem ?) i don't have floppy, so i can't get the files.

keep us updated. that bug is really annoying me . and i'm sure it does alot of you also. thank you

so is this the only way possible at this moment? any disadvantage of patching this file from 2055 over one in RTM ?

same problem. .net 1.1 is not being installed at t-13 stage. [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=1 BuildNumber=2600 [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="svcpack" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] kb832414.cat kb834707.cat kb884020.cat kb885523.cat kb885626.cat kb885894.cat kb885932.cat kb887078.cat scripten.cat [SetupHotfixesToRun] netsp1.exe by the way, anyone know how to setup winnt.sif so that EN input locale is removed and KO input locale is default? [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=7,8,1 SystemLocale=00000412 UserLocale=00000409 InputLocale=0412:E0010412,0411:E0010411 InputLocale_DefaultUser=0412:E0010412 that's the code i found out searching the forum, but it does not work. and last Q is, how to add a administrative account under certain name (eg. sysadmin and password **** ) but make the computer autologon to default 'administrator' ? (making this for remote connection)

well i removed 'fx' from the file name for mine, and yes that file is in the folder 'svcpack' along w/ all other cab files so changing that catalogsubdir won't help.. right? i think i saw something about correct 'version #' at the top of .inf file any idea?

sorry to budge in, but a quick question. i use your .net 1.1 silent installer in svcpack.inf i expanded your svcpack.in_ and changed the code. [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" [SetupData] CatalogSubDir="\i386\svcpack" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] kb832414.cat kb834707.cat kb884020.cat kb885523.cat kb885626.cat kb885894.cat kb885932.cat kb887078.cat scripten.cat [SetupHotfixesToRun] netsp1.exe but apparently, it does not install at T-13 stage.. any idea what i'm doing wrong? thanks

very nice prog! thanks

this method was the only one that worked for me big thank you

what's the registry tweak to enable override cookie handling in IE 6 ? tia

i have extracted 1.0.3 update file to i386 folder. and now windows installation is pretty much messed up. (no IE, no WMP, and etc) i remember same thing happened to me when i extracted 1.0.2 update over 1.0.1 .. rather than doing it from clean install. am i only one having this prob?

here you go both of them look like exact match

well i tried this program hoping nvRAID would work w/ my nf2. but it didn't here's my winnt.sif ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates=yes [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended FileSystem=* Repartition=No Unattendswitch="yes" Waitforreboot="no" OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath = .... edited because it was too long [GuiRunOnce] ; %systemdrive%\application\none.bat Command0="%systemdrive%\backup\winapp\none1.bat" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=4 OemSkipWelcome=1 Autologon=Yes AutoLogoncount=1 [MassStorageDrivers] "NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER (required)" = "OEM" "NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller (required)" = "OEM" "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL" [OemBootFiles] TXTSETUP.OEM nvraid.sys nvraid.inf nvraidco.dll nvraid.cat nvatabus.sys nvatabus.inf idecoi.dll nvata.cat nvuide.exe nvide.nvu nvcoi.dll NvRaidEnu.dll NvRaidMan.exe nvraidservice.exe NvRaidSvEnu.dll NvRaidWizard.dll NvRaidWizardEnu.dll RegRaid.bat in the setup mode.. it says something about txtsetup.oem having an error in line 1747 ... but it finishes loading drivers, but in the menu where HDs are shown.. i see two separate HDs on each channel rather than one RAID 0 array any help? *one quick thing to add is, i've used nlite to integrate a Promise Onboard raid controller

when you release 1.0.3 (or any update) , would it be safe to just put the FULL version .cab file into Windows folder that already has 1.0.2 using nLite? or do you recommend clean integration of your patch? thanks,

lol, my bad, i got it now, and this will be last time btw, do you guys think using Ryan's patch affected this svcpack error for me?

bad. . hehe my mistake guys

ryan, after using your patch, i don't see shortcut for Remote Desktop Connection under accessaries,... do you have same problem? thanks, i love your works!

i have a single .exe file based program that i'd like to silently install rather than using trial-n-error method, how can i find out which switches to use for specific .exe ? i found out /silent /verysilent switch works for this, but i can't find out switch to assign file associates (it's winrar-like program) thanks in advance

so what did you find out ryanVM ? let us know!, i'm dying here . hehe

that's what i did. well i actually got another tcpip.sys file w/ unlimited connection and put it in i386 folder i wanna check if it's indeed for unlimited..
